Alzheimer’s expert from Mich. tells NY jury he lied to FBI out of shame over broker secrets
– canadianbusiness.com
NEW YORK, N.Y. – An Alzheimer’s expert says he was too ashamed to be truthful when the FBI confronted him with claims he fed inside information to a hedge fund manager.
Sidney Gilman described his dealings with investigators Tuesday to a Manhattan jury at the trial of former SAC Capital portfolio manager Mathew Martoma. The government says the secrets were about a clinical trial for a promising Alzheimer’s drug.
The 81-year-old Gilman says he was “hoping it would go away” when he lied to the FBI in September 2011. He says he had betrayed his colleagues, himself and his employer: the University of Michigan. He eventually signed a non-prosecution agreement and agreed to testify.
Prosecutors say Gilman’s tips helped Martoma and SAC Capital earn a quarter billion dollars illegally.
Martoma has pleaded not guilty.

The program at Kainai (kye-nye) High School will be open to students in Grades 11 and 12 and aims to provide business knowledge and financial literacy skills.
There will also be hands-on experience with local businesses.
Former prime minister Paul Martin and his Martin Aboriginal Educational Initiative is behind the program, along with the Blood Tribe and Scotiabank.
A similar program began about two years ago in The Pas, Man.
Martin says Kainai was chosen in part because it is a progressive school.
“The forward thinking of the Blood tribe is a very important part of this and the success of the school,” Martin said on a visit to the reserve Tuesday.
“This is really about indigenous youth who understand that if they get an education — the right kind of an education — and if they understand what opportunity lies in front of them, there is nothing that can hold them back…
